Topic: [TIP] Facebook Share Button

[Mick.]

Very simple to implement.

Open:
Themes/default/Display.template.php

Find:

Code: [Select]

// Maybe they want to report this post to the moderator(s)?
Add before:

Code: [Select]

                      if ($message['id'] == $context['topic_first_message'])
                            echo '<br /><br /><a name="fb_share" type="box_count" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Share</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script><br /><br />';
                            };

[rakicko]

where to put share image?

[Masterd]

You don't need any image.

If you can, try to split up the thing in two parts:

Themes/default/Display.template.php

Code: [Select]

                      if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message']) {
                            echo '<br /><br /><a name="fb_share" type="box_count" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Share</a><br /><br />';
                            };

And put this in the footer

Code: [Select]

              echo '<script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script>';

It will increase page loading speed time (a little bit).

nice job!

[rngrdanny22]

Great job! I have a quick question... is there anyway to code it to where it only shows on the first message on the first page?

Currently, it is showing on the first message of every page within a topic. I only want it to show on the very first post in the topic.

Thanks!

Good tip

[KensonPlays]

Lastnico's suggestion makes sense...

[L'AltroWeb]

This code is for every first post in every page.
Is there any way to show only in first topics post (only for page 1)?

[Dharshan]

Use this variable:

if ($message['id'] == $context['topic_first_message'])


BTW, this is for any version. I use it in 1.1.11

Thanks for share!

Better than that:
global $topicinfo;
if ($message['id'] == $topicinfo['id_first_msg'])




because if you use "if ($message['id'] == $context['topic_first_message']) and you go to the second page... the button appears in the first post of that page

Really? I tested it, but it didn't happen to me, it only shows on the very first message with $context['topic_first_message']).

[spanish mode on]qué raro es hablarte en inglés haha  [/spanish mode off]

[lucas-ruroken]

yeah, the english is very hard to me :p

You need add the global $topicinfo.....

$context['topic_first_message']) is for the first message in every page... but $topicinfo['id_first_msg'] is for the first post.

Fine, but in my case it didn't happen that way, it only shows in the opening post of a topic, instead of the first post of a new page. It works for me at least , however, it's good to know another way, so I can learn much more .

[lucas-ruroken]

of course
